Hi,
How do I turn off "comint-watch-for-password-prompt" on a particular
buffer? I'm testing apps in a shell buffer which uses the "password:"
string. This confuses comint.
TIA,
-T

Gamename,
Try
(make-local-variable 'comint-password-prompt-regexp)
(setq comint-password-prompt-regexp [?^ 0 ?$])
This makes the password-prompt string local to the current buffer
(the shell), and then sets it to a single Ctrl-@ (ASCII 0) on a line,
hopefully that sequence will never appear.
HTH,
Colin S. Miller

In that buffer, remove comint-watch-for-password-prompt from the buffer
local comint-output-filter-functions abnormal hook:
(remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-watch-for-password-prompt
t) ; this makes the hook buffer-local, and modifies the
local value

You can (set (make-local-variable 'comint-password-prompt-regexp) "\\`a\\`")
But it'd be interesting to see what is the actual string(s) sent by your app
and mistakenly interpreted as a password prompt. Maybe we make the default
regexp "tighter" so it doesn't get confused?
